Embodiment Construction

[0038]Window curtain rod assemblies are provided that include a rod and brackets, each including a removable magnetic finial. The removable finials allow a curtain to be drawn onto wraparound legs of the brackets from the curtain rod to provide curtain wraparound regions that reduce or prevent light from entering into a room. The curtain wraparound regions allow the curtain to be drawn to the wall and hide the brackets from view.

[0039]In certain embodiments, the window curtain rod assemblies may include alignment brackets that are easy to install. The alignment brackets may be attached to a wall against the vertical edge of a window frame while also allowing the curtain to extend horizontally beyond the vertical edges of the window frame. In certain embodiments, the alignment bracket assemblies may be mounted on a window stud adjacent to the window frame. In accordance with typical window construction techniques, window studs are positioned adjacent to the vertical portions of a win...

Abstract

Room darkening window curtain rod assemblies that include a curtain rod and two bracket assemblies, each including a removable magnetic finial are disclosed. Each bracket assembly includes a wraparound leg that extends perpendicularly from an axis of the curtain rod toward a wall or window frame upon which the assembly is installed. The removable finials allow a curtain to be drawn onto the wraparound leg of each bracket assembly from the curtain rod to provide curtain wraparound regions. The curtain wraparound regions reduce or prevent light from entering into a room, and allow the bracket assemblies to be hidden. Once the curtain is extended into the wraparound regions, the magnetic finials are magnetically attached to the bracket assemblies with portions of the curtain located therebetween.
